Zero Sum’s XAUUSD liquidity simulator
An interactive gold-trading exercise asks players to model how crowd behavior and clustered stop-losses affect a simulated market.

- XAUUSD traders learning about liquidity and stop-losses
- Worth noticing
- The stop-loss heat map stays hidden until a player locks in a prediction; the round ends with a zero-sum ledger and a one-line reflection.
Field notes
Each scenario begins with a prediction about whether a textbook entry reaches take-profit before stop-loss. The described sequence then has the player place a guess line, attract a crowd with a chart pattern, take the opposite side, and sweep clustered stops. A heat map stays hidden until the prediction is committed. The autopsy compares retail, whale, and broker balances, then asks for a one-line reflection; the page also offers a five-question trader-type quiz.
